So Many Precious Books, So Little Time Giveaway

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Teddy over at So Many Precious Books, So Little Time is having a giveaway where you can win one of five copies of Supreme Courtship by Christopher Buckley. I read Buckley’s Boomsday and seen the film Thank You For Smoking which is based of a book he wrote. Both of which were pretty good.

Giveaway: PAPER TOWNS by John Green

Monday, September 14th, 2009

Penguin has been nice enough to give me the opportunity to give you the opportunity to win a copy of Paper Towns by John Green which is being released in paperback next week (Sept 22). In case you have forgotten, I called Paper Towns a “fantastic novel”. In fact, after re-reading what I wrote about it, I used “fantastic” twice to describe the book. Hm, I guess need a thesaurus. Anyway, It’s a great young adult book that you should check out.

Description from Powells.com:

Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge he follows. After their all-nighter ends, and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues and they are for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew.

General Stuff
Since January 2008 I have been using this blog to write about the books i've read and other book related news that I find interesting. I also find pirates interesting so from time to time I may blog about pirates. I see this as killing two birds with one stone.
